Before it Fades

We all have someone we wish we could sit with again. Someone whose voice we'd recognise instantly. Someone we'd give anything to hear say our name one more time. Imagine having that - their words, their expressions, their presence - held safely, forever.

Life Story Sessions

Not a photoshoot.
A conversation.

I sit with you - in the same room - and I listen. We talk. We laugh. Sometimes we pause. From that honest connection, I create a tangible, beautifully crafted record of who you are, right now, for the people who will one day long to hear your voice again.

The stories we're most proud of are the ones our clients tell

I didn’t realise how meaningful this would be until afterwards. Martin created such a relaxed atmosphere that the stories just flowed, and the finished portraits feel incredibly personal. It’s something our family will treasure forever.

Client Client

This was bought as a gift for family and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The whole experience was thoughtful, unhurried and genuinely special. The images and stories captured something priceless.

Client Client

I was nervous beforehand, but within minutes I completely forgot about the camera. Martin has an amazing way of helping you feel comfortable and understood, and that shows in every photograph.

Client Client

What surprised me most was how enjoyable the session was. It felt more like sharing memories than being photographed. The final collection captured personality, humour and warmth in a way we never expected.

My Story

I'm Martin, and Before It Fades grew from a lifelong fascination with people and the stories that shape them.

Over the years I've learned that while we take thousands of photographs, very few truly capture who someone is, what they've lived, or what they want to pass on.

Before It Fades is my way of helping people tell their story, in their own words, while those stories can still be shared, enjoyed, and remembered.
